Willie’s ex-boyfriend, an immigrant from Cuba, David grew up homeless on the streets of Middle Paradi. He’s definitely got the bearing of someone who knows how to handle themselves, which at five foot seven and a scrappers build, he’d need to have. Willie and he remained friends even after their break up and he’d never mistreated her that she’d ever complained about. A former urchin, his parents both lost to the industrial grind of the city, David joined the Marines and finished high school with them. He’s seen action overseas but now lives in Paradi again. Why he’d return when the military got him out of it, who knows? Maybe it was harder for him to leave Willie behind than might be expected.

He’s fit and in shape, a knife scar over his left eye the only marr on an otherwise handsome face. David works retail at one of those big electronics chains. He’s worked his way up to middle management with the corporate office, and while he doesn’t live in luxury, he does make enough to afford his own small apartment. if closer to the Core. When Bri and Willie were in trouble following their displacement by the police raid, he took both of them in.

David is on friendly terms with Farrah McKinley though the two don't know one another very well.
